Coinciding with the band’s second American tour, this long player is an expanded version of the UK EP Five by Five, and also includes the third and fourth American singles, “It’s All Over Now”, recorded at Chess, and the first Billboard top 10 hit, “Time is On My Side”, which features an organ intro rather than the better known guitar version that’s the second British album. Mick and Keith’s songwriting partnership is hitting it’s stride by this time, with three of their songs on the album, “Congratulations”, “Grown Up Wrong” and the excellent “Good Times, Bad Times”, an homage to the country blues singers they loved so much.
